Join Castlemaine Safe Space in an awareness raising movie night and panel discussion.

Learn more about the Castlemaine Safe Space and the work they do and watch “Just A Farmer” – a feature film which follows the story of a farming family and community who are rocked by the loss of a treasured local hero. The movie explores mental health, resilience and issues around medical services in rural and regional Australia.

The viewing will be followed by a panel discussion and Q and A, with the farmer-turned-filmmaker behind it, Leila McDougall and others who are working in this space.
